The ve'ry apiK-araiici of tiiis strano-o creature inspires a horror tvliioli lln most venomous serpent i ; iiioapal.h of aroiisin-jf. and to .stand and -raze into tho l:dle-ss. iinldinkiii-r oyos. ovoii when iron liars iiit. rposo. is lo o.p.-ri.-iic.' an uiiooiufortablo -sensation aloii-r tho ic o;i..ii ,f mie's lac-UIoiie, and stt one wondoriiiLT if it was not just suc-h a -rettiro that oriirinated with tho au t ients tho belief in an animal w hoso very raze was death. Tho Mexicans and Indians of Arizona will toll you that tho monster kills by its breath everything approaching near enoui-h to inhale tho sickeniiio- oflluviuiii. this iM-liof arisinjr from tho horror with which they rerard it, and from tho fact that it is usually found only at the bot tom of some old mine shaft or m. uu lain cavern, where tho heavy, menhitic air serves to overcome tho luckless bo intr who ventures in, and who falls the readier victim to the monster's bite. It iis a popular fallacy that this crea ture is of the lizard family, an ovor Trosvn cliamclooii, but its small, snake like head, its slimy hotly of a hideous brownish irray, with a smooth white belly, suirjests rather tho serpent, but the tail is short and stumpy. My iirst introduction to tho I lila mon ster was a tragic one. I was spendino; sotne months in l'hienix. A. T., and had in my employ a you'iff Mexican named Ifoandor, who served mo as lody servant, grMm and cixdi in the modest inenaijre I hatl set up, prefer rintr tt) dictate my own table faro to oatiiifr tho popiory mosses which are the sole diet of the Mexiean popula tion, and which are rradually adopted by Americans dwelling any length of time iu this climate. To such ait ex treme is this love of red-hot popper carried by the foreign elcment that it is saitl with truth that even the car rion eaters of the rcg-iou w ill not touch a dead Mexican. This boy Loander was a timid, affec tionate lad. whose only vice seemed to bo that of raniblinjr. At this he spent all his spare time and his entire wajfes, often playing all nijrht, though por formtnjr his duties next day as usual. 1 reasoned with him in vain, and he would promise me airain and ajrain that he would cease the uneasy life his propensities caused him to lead. but he hail always an evil antrcl at his side iu the shape of a bijr pock-marked half-breed named Francesco. This man. taking' advantage of the lxiy's weakness, was always at hand to tempt him to the small iramhliiifr hell frequente-d by men of his class, and thoii-rh I forbade him hanrinr about my premises, he would waylay Lean tier and work on his love of sport un til the boy would fall airain. From inquiries I made, I learned that Francesco made a practice of reirularly cheating him out of his waires. but Ieander could not Ik brought to see this, but played tin, hoping to reraiu some of his losses. Hut one nirht ho saw an unmistak able false play on the part of his en emy, and with the quick fury of his race, had leaped across the table and had driven his knife iuto the breast of Francesco. The bijr half-breed dropped like a lofr, and thinking him tload, the boy broke out of the shanty and ran for the mountains. Next morninfr I was told of tho occurrence, and while I depre-catod what ho had done, I could not but think the boy hail some excuse for his aiifror. and after ascertain iu-r from the surjreon Frane-isco's wound would not prove serious. I re'solvetl to protcct Loander from the law. This was easily done in those early days, and foarinfr lest the boy would perish in the mountains of hun-ror and exjosiire, I oniraired a small party to jr with me in search of him. After some trouble we learned from a herdsman that beamier prevaileil on him to promise that he would briiifr him food every day to the mouth of a shaft which had been the entrance of an old silver mine. lie-re Loaiulcr pro posed to hide himself until the conse quences of his detd had blown over. The herdsman had kept his promise, and the day after inoetiii"- the boy on his way to this place of concealment had carried some provisions to the shaft and had called to the fujritive. Lut lie had heard nothin-r in reply, and so hatl irone aivay, thinkin-r that after all Leauder hatl abandoned his plan. I prtceetletl at onco to the sjiot jkiinted out by the Mexican, and with one of my men entered the shaft which had been sunk at a sharp anjrle int.) the mountain. Our torches burned badly in the foul air of the place, and ii.it seeing: it I stumbl.-d presently over an object that la- across the path. I leaned forward to see w hat it was, and had just recojruized with a thrill of horror that it was the body of a man most siekeningdy swollen ami discolored, when the man with tue suddenly jerked me to one aide and discharged his pistol at a dark, irliditi'r j shape- that was iiiakinr at me. '"Hack, i back, seiior!" ho cried, drasro-ino-at me. "It is the black tieath:" Impelled by him. thoup-li not understandiiijr tho datio-er, I backed out of the place, ami was then told that I had narrowly es caped a bite from a (iila monster, anil that tho man we hatl soon was in all probability my oor servant, thou-rh I would never have known that irhastly, battened shape for him. I could scarcely prevail on tho man to e-, back with me into tho shaft, but at la t ho consented to walk behiii i mo and to hold the torch that I iiii-rht kill the deadly creature ami brinr out tho body of the poor lay for burial. We found the monster that tho Mexi can had fired at writhinir about, evi dently wounded by the shot. and. quickly dispatching him, we stot.p.-d to lift tho tload boy when my nostrils were smitten by a fresh whiff of intle scribably offensive odor resombliiio that of decay inir raw meat which lilled tho place. Tho Mexican and I sprang about to see crawlin-r ,,iit f flu !rIMm at the? far end of the shaft a second monster. Aiminjr carefully 1 tired at the movino- form. but must have missed the reptile, for with incredible swiftness of movement it reached mo and seized my left foot. Fortunately I bad tin thick huiitin;' boots r.-at-h-in-r to my knee, so that as far as I was concerned the creature was harmless, but the Mexican withiuo was barefooted, and cried out to mo to kill tho mon . tor before it could turn on him. so leaninir il.nvti 1 placed my woani almost to the- thiur's head and blew its brains out. I Ittriii-r t ho same year of this iKfiir rence a younir miniiiy oiijriiieor from the oast ran away with the ilauo-htor of a wealthy Mexican ranchman, w ho objected to tho marriage on the score of the yoimr man's poverty. The couple, pursued by 'ho anury lather, a man who had tho reputation of beinir swift to kill, made for Fort (irant. but wore oblijro.l to cross the mountains. A storm was coiiiin-r up. and their driver sou fht shelter in a deserted a.lolie hut. where they were kept all ni-rht. To this place they cr.' trace 1 by lh father, but ho found only three tlca I and swollen bo,liesiu the hut with two I iila monsters. Those showed hVht, but were killed, and the heart-broken father returned homo. On tho river from which these rep tiles take their name are the remains of an extensive ti well ioir house wl.it-h in its day was a marvel of architecture and clejraiicc to the Mexicans. Its owner was a Sijr. Mesilla. who had boon educated in the oast, and who had brought homo a brnle from some northern state when his colloj'e days we're over. Hut for all his adoption of American manners and oust.. in , tho ro veiisroful nature of his race lived in him. A short lime after his marria-re ho jrrew jealous of a friend who had boon a classmate of his and who had accompanied him homo to see some thiny of the country. To the sus picious Mexican it teemed that his youny wife looked with loo suiiliii-r a countenance on her countryman, and in his dark mind lie planned a rcvcii'ro unique in its way. He procured a pair of tiila monsters and promised his ranchmen a rare treat, souu-tlnno-better and more novel than a btill lijrht. Monarch of the country for miles about, there was no one to in terfere with his frr!m pleasure, so one day without warninir he caused his jruest to lie stripped of his clothiii(r except tne lifrht jrarmcnt and shut in the court of th.? place formed by the blank walls of the lour connected biiildin-rs that forme 1 the ranchhouse. The victim was provided with a knife anil then the moiisU is vre let into this improvised arena. Mesilla and his men sat upon the low roofs and watched the combat with shouts of laughter and cheers as the reptiles and the man foiiyht. The American was unaware of the deadly character of tho creatures ho was ar rayed against, and, while bitten ajraiii and airain. thought he was liirli t intr for his liie, and .succeeded in linaily kiil irir tine of the re'ptiles, though the poison was fast reiiileriiir him blind ami sick. At last ho fell tload on tin body of the monster he had slain, while the other, though wounded, fastened itself upon the corpse. Messilla hatl forced his wife to wit ness this horrible scene until she hatl fainted, and now that the man was tload the cruel husband had her low ered into the yard. As she re-ached the stone jiaviny of the place, she recov ered consciousness and. seeintr Ww dreadful form of tho monster crawlin-r toward her. hast ily snatched from the tload man's hand the knife with which he had fouirht and pluiijrcd it in her broa,st. fal linjr lifeless beside her coun tryman. Mesilla wishinir. howe-vcr, to satisfy himself that both of them wore really dead, now descended into tho courtyard himself, ami was stoopinir to examine his victims when the wounded and ilyinjr reptile, which he hatl foro-otton. raise-d its evil head ami fixed its fanirs in his foot. Mesilla died before it could be detached from it. and it was necessary to cut it away liefore Mesilla could bo placed in his co ili n. 1'hiladclpliia Times. llulleta Carrie.1 for Years.

"1 wish you would let me have the money. John," pleaded the wife, tr3'iny to control her voice, "l tell you no, I cannot spare it; be sides she dtes not need a white dress. If women had their way every cent a man could earn would be spent on linery and foolishness.

"Hut, John, she really needs a new dress; I've turned ami remade every thing thnt I could possibly use.

"I've never taught her lo disobey you. and 1 shall not Im -'ui now." "Hotter not." be re tu rued, roujrhly, and walked away. A one-story lotf house, ujrly and un inviiinir save for tho blossomiuir llowers alunt it, rose before he-r, and from its low door a slender rrirl of fourteen came with wet eyes and Hushed face, sayinc-, pitifully: "Is it not too cruel, mamma? How can I bear it?" "Try to liear it bravely, elarlinjr. Mamma w ill help you." And w ith her arms around her weepinir daujrhtcr A liee Weston sat down upou the lower tl.h .rstoiie and thoii-rht. Novell teen years before she, pretty Alice Lewis, hatl married John Weston. Her mother was dead, and her father bad jroue to northern New York with them an.t purchased two hundred a -res oi rich but uuiiiiproveii land. I thud been quite eliea p -I he entire etst only one thousand dollars, but it hatl taken an other thousand to stock it and to build the little house and bam. Mr. Lewis and .;o!in ajrrceil very well and Alice; I ad boeti contented. Three years lat.-r Laby (.race came, and, Oraudpa Lewis liohli-ir the wee one in his arms, said: "'1 hank heaven, Alice, you ami b..by will always have a homo, whatever hiippcus. When I am irone teach the little one to love my memory." The bur-house and barn had boon very well -or a start when they wore just boiriniiiM'.r, but as years passed a ttirivin-r little town spranjr up near, ami a railroad wound its so rre ut-like track across one corner of the farm. They had proscre.l. too. in other ways; had little sickness ami tfoo.1 harvests, and every year John had -rone t( l to deposit the yearly profits. Tho barn hatl Ion,' ao rivcn way to a lietter, more commodious structure; and Alice had often pleaded for a new house, but John was adamant and scotTed at the idea. So Alice yielded, though fceline- his injustice, lor all labor-savin-r implements for farm use had lieoii freely purchased, ami help for himself was never wantinir, but since Haby t.race was three months old she hail never had a stroke of help in the house. John's parsitnoniousness was grow ing ui. on him. He seemed to have sunk all oiiier considerations, and bent all his i-nerpies to makiiir money. It was ditliciilt even to yet him to provide suitably for the tabic. If the provi sions wore out or their wardrobes iiocd od replenishinc- Alice was made to fool that she was personally resjHiiisible lor the matter, and the family felt his dis pleasure for days over every trilling expenditure. Kiitcrin-r the house, she went slowly np the L.uti-.-r that led to the loft, ami l.iisiiijT a small book from an old rod e-hest. 011 which were her father's in itials in larire brass-headed nails, she examine.

Alice tilled it for ?.-...M.J. payable ;.. h.-iself. dated i' and signed her Ims ii n l's name as nearly like his twu siy fi.ituie as ..ssible. Kaeh autumn John went to New Y..r.i with hi, own and his noirhliors produce, remaining there two to four -voeks. Thither he had yone to-day, atnl would remain at least a month; ,0 Alice had a clear field for her opora t 011s. She examined her purse, but : 011 ml less than a dollar there; but she supplemented it by selliny ejr-rs at the villaye, and obtained 11101103- enough to ro to l; . She had not Wen there for 3-. ars. and at first felt timid at lie 11 r alone in a larye oily; but each mo- nient -rave her confidence, and when :,ho 1 .resented the chock at the bank she w as as cool ami diyniCied as a vet eran. John had an uncle in the city, and to him she applied for identification. Kiiowiiijr not bins of the circumstances, fie t.f course identified her, but was t h .rou yh'13- ustonished w hen once out t.f the bank to learn the re-al state of airairs. Ho was. however, a just man. and not only did he appiove t.f her eor.rso. but -rave her valuable assist ance in her project, and nodoubtsaved her much 1ss. Nearlv five weeks elapsed before John Weston returned, but to his a-doiiished eyes Aladdin's palace seemed lie fore him. A neat, twt.-storj- frame tiuildinjr, on which Hie paint was scarcely dr3 stood where the lo-r house had Won. The yard, always level. had lieen cleared of rubbish, and inclosed in a neat fen. e. liasti!- strid'.nrr up the pravel walk, he entered the sittitie- room where his wife, daughter and uncle awaited hiin. In the kitchen le-ond, a j"ininj- firl tlitted aliout, pettiiifr supper. To the left, the oiH-ii fol.linir doors showed a J prettily furnished parlor in which a I handsome oryau was conspicuous. The sittinr-rooin was less exoensivelv furnished, but a sowing machine and several easy chcirs yave an air of home comfort, as deliyhtlul as it was novel. Just what John Weston would have said had his wife Wen alone it is im possible to say. Hut Wing- iu some what wholesome awe of his uncle, who was a bachelor and wealthy, he only inquired: "What in the devil does all this tom foolery mean, Alice?" "Simply that 1 have reinvested my half of the bank stock." she replied, quietly. "You don't mean to aay that you have dared to touch that money in the bank," he roared. "It's mine, every cent of it I will not have it touched. You could not yet it without me. ami if anyone," dartiny an auyry look at his uucle, "has Wen fool enouyh to lend -tiu money on the streuylh of it, Fll see them hanyed liefore I'll pay it." For ten minutes he rayed like a wild animal; then Alice spoke quietly yet in a tone that calmed even his auyer. " "Stop, John; now you must listen to me. Seventeen 3-eirs ayo, when we were married, you had less than one hundred dollars. M3 father bouyht this pla;-e, stocked it and furnished money for improvements. When he died I allowed 3'ou to do exactly as 3-011 pleased with everythiny. You have bouyht and sold to suit 3-oursclf. Your stock have Won well sheltered, while your family have lived iu a hovel. A 113-thiuy to aid 3-ou iu outdoor labor has Wen freel- purchased, and at the same time simple necessities of life have Weu denied us. Itut this is a thiny of the past- Henceforth matters will rest on a more equitable basis, and we will live in accordance with our means. "There was ten thousand five hun dred dollars iu the bank at H . I drew five thousand five hundred dollars of it. You have over five hundred from this year's sale of produce, and the remaiiiiiiy five thousand dollars I lay no claim to. Thus we start even. 1 work quite as hard as yourself, 3-et I ask no division of yiven receipts. You can yo 011 just as 3-ou have and no one will question your management, but one-half of all the net proceeds must W deposited to m3 order." "You don't mean to say that 3-011 have squandered five thousand dollars since 1 have youe?" be exclaimed, auyrily. "I have squandered nothiny. I have properby e.xpeuded some twent3-five hundred. Tho house cost two thousand dollars, the furniture about five hun dred more. The other three thousand 1 have intact." "And 3-ou have yot the moue3- and spent it?" "I have yot it and have 5 pent a por tion of it." "You siyned my name to the order?" "I did." "And if I refuse to let the matter rest so. and have you arrested for fe.ryerv?" A smile curled her lip for a moment. "Then iu such an event, w hich I tlo not anticipate, 1 should W forced to have you arrested for attem pted fraud, and let the farm to a tenant who will justly divide the profits." The last was certainly a master stroke, for he made no reply, and the yirl aiinounciny supper, the subject was not renewed. In the eveuiny, however, when John and his uncle went to the barn, John asked him if he had set the thiny yo- iny. "Not at all," he returned, "thouyh I do not blame Alice. bik at 3-t.iir fine lot tif personal property, liesi.les 11101103 in the bank, and it has all come thn.-uyh her. Now let me advise 3-011. Accept the situation yraccfully; Alice has counted the cost carefully-, and she will uevcr yield her position. And 3'ct, John, you have brouyht it upon your self. If .vou had treated bora little more justly she would never have at tempted this." "No. b3' Jove! I did not think she bad so much yrit, I've lived with her seven teen years, and 1 never heard her scold until to-niyht." "Rather mild scoldiny that, I think." "Well, a pretty thorouyh ovcrhaul iny, then." John said, w ith a faint at tempt at a lauyh. "Itut, rcall" he added, 'this places me in a bad lix. I have bouyht the Allston estate, and there are oil .wells on it that make it a biy baryain. I was lo yive ten thou sand for the- place, includiuy t. nils and stock.

"You intended takiny a de-ed of this plae-e yourself'."" "Of course." he answered, readily, the'n had the yrace to color as he caught the tw inkle in his uncle's 03-e- " You have said nothiny to Alice about it?" "No; to tell the truth. I did not con sider it was any of her affairs. 1 never looked at thiuys just as I have to-niyht, and I ditl not think she would eiare as seTt her riyhts. In fact, 1 thiuk 1 had foryotten she had any." "She has dared, how-e'ver. ami I honor her for it- Now, John. I'll tell 3-ou what I II do. If 3-011 and Alice w ill take a joint deed of the Allston place I'll lend her the tw-o thousand dollars re quired and she can pay me when con venient, lln it must he a joint deed, understand" Alice was deliyhted with the arransre nieiit, and thouyh surprised at tiutliuy such smooth ailiny felt tluly yrateful to John's uncle for his timely aid. and found no future difficulty in maintain ing the stand she had taken. As for John, he had always enter tained an e-xalted opinion of John Wes ton, but irom that uiyht he entertained a whole-some respect for John Weston's wife.
